    I said nothing of the sort.

    No, microevolution and macroevolution are completely different things.

    I didn't know atheists believed evolution could talk. Does it have a male or a female voice? Or one of those robot voices?

    Atheists, every time you think you have seen stupid, they send in someone like you.

    Everyone knows that microevolution, or change within a kind, occurs. Microevolution is why we have teacup poodles, pesticide-resistant boll-weevils, and Eskimos. What evolutionists assume, but have NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER for, is macroevolution, or one kind changing into another kind.

    Noah only needed one pair of elephants to represent all of elephant kind. The African elephants, Asian elephants, and bush elephants we have today are micro-evolved from the original pair of elephants Noah had on board the ark. Noah didn't bring any mastodons or woolly mammoths on board the ark because he didn't need them. He already had some other representative of elephant kind.

    Similarly, he only needed one pair of beetles, one pair of turtles, etc. to represent their kind. Nowhere does the Bible say that Noah had to gather two of each species of animal. The Bible says two of "every kind", which refers to a descendant of each original created animal.

    This is just simple baraminology, but I have yet to meet an evolution-believer capable of grasping it.

    Oh, but they're the smart ones.

    Why would he have had to do that? He could just have had temperate-zone representations of each kind, and then the polar and tropical animals we know today could have micro-evolved from those animals.

    I don't think you appreciate just how large the ark was. It was roughly the size of a modern destroyer.

    Re: Where did the races come from?

    The Lord speaks of micro-evolution in Jeremiah:

    Jer:13:23: Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.

    In Jer:13:23, a lot of people think that this means leopards will always be leopards and Ethiopians will always be Darkies. Nothing could be further from the truth. A couple of verses later we see

    Jer:13:25: This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the LORD; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.

    Here The Lord is saying that by remembering Him and trusting in the Truth, all may change, even animals, as long as they behave as He requires.

    From this, it is clear that Christians evolve faster than atheists who are mired in superstition, necromancy, and put their trust in science, not God.

How did Noah fit every single animal on the planet on to one boat. Also it would be even more animals back then because of extinction and what not? With out evolution you can not explain it. If there where fewer animals back then it may of been possible but according to you all the animals that have ever existed needed to go on the Ark.

    Explain quick extinctions under Evolution. Face it, species die off all the sim without it taking a million years!

    Nonsense. All atheists believe in fairy tales like the big bang, evolution and Earth being more than 100,000 years old. Even though the Bible clearly states all of those to be false beliefs.

    Atheism is not a religion, there are no moral standards that all atheists follow. There is no god. The choice to not believe in a god is only one little thing that is the same with all atheists.

    There are not four, I named only four but there are many other people out there. Also you made a fallacy called argument from majority. Just because most people believe and follow it doesn't make it right. The majority of Germany when Hitler was in power agreed with him did that make what he did right? No! You can pray for me, but it won't do much good. I use to be Christian I use to be a mindless brainwashed creationist. I even did a speech arguing for creation my senior year of high school. And now after comparing the claims of the bible and modern science I can see that religion and god is bullsh**.
